They have some sand dunes and dry badlands in the south, but whatever “arcane desert rituals” stoner doom trio King Potenaz are performing on their latest full length, Arcane Desert Rituals Vol. 2,are merely symbolic. But, hey these dudes—Giuseppe Guarini (vocals/guitars),

Another week, another Wednesday. It’s Smokey Goretooth again with a new “Do I Suck?,” MetalSucks’ version of “Am I The Asshole?” where we take your horror stories and ultimately decide if you suck for some bullshit you may or may not have done. Today’s installment comes from Molly, who’s wondering if she’s a dick because
When Converge released their eleventh album earlier this year, the critical and fan response was nearly universal: Love is Not Enough is the best Converge album in a long time. How long depends on what you like most about Converge, but Love Is Not Enough took the band’s sound back to their roots, recalling the
When I heard I would be reviewing the new album by some band called Pharmacist, I got pretty excited. After all, my old buddy Chet worked as a pharmacist’s assistant back in the early 80s, and we spent many a wild night partying with the quaaludes he used to pilfer from his dumbshit boss before

We hope you’ve recovered sufficiently from that exposure and are prepared for a video from one of the tracks, “Psychic Surgery,” on said long player. In this video, seemingly
In previous articles, I have really been trying to go more think piece, less stink piece, but maybe it’s time for this gob to break the label of being some new,green journalist; it’s time for Johnny’s first real interview! I saw all this commotion about a counterfeit merch store profiting off one of my favorite

The New Jersey-born metal/hardcore act responsible for aughts crushers Soundtrack to the Personal Revolution (2002), The Perfect Is the Enemy of the Good (2003) and Heart of Darkness (2009) embark on a second act born of lifelong friendships. The core
Greetings,Decibel readers! There’s three particularly dark and brutal albums on today’s list, ones that should please the palettes of those looking for fire, blood, and brimstone. On the other hand, I also chose a hard rock album that totally contrasts with that vibe. AndConverge. Can’t argue with that. — Converge – Hum of Hurt AnotherConverge
Greetings, once again from Dropocalypse Friday, where you have left the mines of capitalist labor and are looking for ways to swiftly “stimulate the economy” by burning your paycheck on records. Fortunately for you, we have a nice list of purchases you can make and hide from your wife – in the off-chance that you

Entropist’s origins trace back to 2013 in Greeley, Colorado, where Solomon, Jeremy, Parker, and drummer Matt
The Dwarvesreturn with a new full-length, JENKEM, arriving June 5via Greedy Records(Distributed by MVD). Get a sneak peak of “Damned If I Do” before the record drops. In anticipation of the album, we caught up with band mastermind Blag Dahlia to talk about what we can expect. JENKEM feels really energized and locked in—not like
The tour’s over, you’re at least two years out from your next “big things coming” post, and recent reports assert that you need a lot more money than you currently make to afford a home. If our calculations are correct over here at Net Worthless, that means you need to quadruple your earnings, which brings
Happy Wednesday, y’all. Or, as happy as it can be, at least. Smokey Goretooth here again with another installment of “Do I Suck?,” MetalSucks’ version of “Am I The Asshole?” where we take your horror stories and ultimately decide if you suck for some bullshit you may or may not have done. Today’s entry comes
Photo by Clinton Jacob Chicago and Minneapolis were the heralded Midwest cities when it came to noise rock in the ’80s and ’90s, but Decibel Hall of Fame inductees Die Kreuzen repped for nearby Milwaukee, which had its own fertile punk and post-hardcore scene. In that fine tradition, the Brew City offers up power trio
Where they from?California (NOT JAPAN). The New York Knicks start their quest for a championship this Wednesday against the dastardly San Antonio Spurs. Now would be a good time to appreciate what an absolute alien Victor Wembanyama is. He’s seven-foot four! You could remove an entire foot from his height and he would still clean
Alright you blue-haired freaks, be forewarned: I am not in a good mood. I just came from the Monro over at Eastland Drive, and the punk servicing my Ford F-150 seemed to find it appropriate to charge me $930 for new pads and rotors. That little prick got one hell of a sigh and disapproving

The track we’re premiering from that effort, “Woodcutter,” combines the groove of old-school Pearl Jam with the stoner vibe of Kyuss or Monster
I’ve been asked to give my goblin-perspective on a new beef that has emerged by two dudes in the music sphere who vaguely resemble vampires: MGK and YUNGBLUD. At first glance, neither look like they’ve never had a burger in their life, THE IRONY! I’ve never seen so many pale-looking abs! So many questions arise:
Greetings, travelers of the internet, and welcome to a brand-spanking new column here at MetalSucks: DROPOCALYPSE. What exactly is this, you ask? Well, each Friday, I’ll be taking you through the week’s hottest, sexiest, freshest vinyl drops, because record collecting is fun. It is also, objectively, the stupidest hobby of all time. But that’s neither
Happy Friday,Decibel readers! We’ve got a lot of great new music to blast today, with today’s selections providing a diversity in heavy and extreme sounds. Fans of cavernous death metal, symphonic black metal, classic heavy metal, melodic death metal, and unique doom metal (it’s hard to describe Godthrymm in just a few words) should all
